This week's homework involves copying a painting in gouache and drawing a room elevation in pencil. The painting is part of a larger project for which I copied another painting last week:
Translating Tamara de Lempicka's oil painting, "La Bella Rafaela," into gouache (opaque watercolor) was a stressful but ultimately gratifying experience. I almost gave up to try an easier painting, but I'm glad I didn't.
In the last couple of years, I've purposefully put myself in situations that are outside of my comfort zone. Going back to school is a big example of this. With every week of class, I realize more and more how taking risks and working hard lead to growth and an overall better life experience.

I'm also glad you didn't give up! Very good job on both paintings!
